It's almost officially #summer! Did you know there's a critically endangered species of whale that spends its summers in Canada's Gulf of St. Lawrence?
North Atlantic right whales are one of the largest species on Earth and have massive heads that measure almost one-third of their total length. They travel with their calves to Canadian waters to feed on copepods, or tiny crustaceans at summer time. Their foraging grounds were traditionally the Bay of Fundy and the Gulf of Maine but as warmer waters began to drive their food source further north into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and the right whales followed.
